 “After producing two albums featuring Fred Rogers’ music, I have developed a deep appreciation for his songwriting skills,” said Dennis Scott. "If you look closely at his tunes you can see what a lyrical craftsman he was. And his choice of chords are more complex than one might expect to hear in any “children’s” song. That’s the magic of Mister Rogers."




Scott continues to say, "He never talked down to kids - musically or otherwise. His songs have messages for all ages and his composing is as sophisticated as many of our great American writers. There’s no doubt in my mind that he belongs in The Songwriters Hall of Fame."
